I will echo MDShunk's comment.

I do have 55footer bucket truck which i have that for more than 8 years but you have to understand if you going to own it you will have use it often if you can to get the return of the investment.

but really how often you will run into this kind of sisuation ?? if once a month or so or have do large number of useage it will really add up fast.

I know from my past expernice i did change one med size parking lot luminaires it took me 2 days to change the bulbs and ballast if smoked the reason why it took me two days becasue some of cars are in my way and the best time to change bulbs is night nite when the lot is empty you can really move along the way but have to watch out when you work in dark area unless you got one of the spotlight on the truck itself and have extra light on the bucket.

and if not going to used often it canbe cheaper to rent by either weekly or monthly rates than the daily rates after you see the diffrence there.

or can ask for short term lease too sometime you can get this way too.

Merci, Marc

I saw that bucket truck it was real nice. But it had hair under the upper boom.
 
Is there a picture of the other side of the truck? I have a 16' Isuzu, and I'd like to see how the bucket attaches.

The other side looks just the same :grin:

The lift is dead center up at the front of the box. It takes up a chunk of space (maybe 30" square) but it is a nice set up with lots of room for stock. I don't have an interior shout of this one.

I went with the 14' x boxes on the buckets because I felt the back step bumper had to be a couple feet long to protect the bucket. We do a lot of car lots and the back end tends to swing out pretty wide.

That is a nice set up, I have always wanted to do something like that but don't have the service work to justify it.
 
Yeah, but look at how he has those ladders stored.

2 @ 8'

2 @ 4' wait...where is my other 4" ladder?? Oh well. It is supposed to be in front of the other one.

1 @ 12'

1 @ 24'

I AM the master :cool:


But.....You DO have to be a real man to get the 12 and 24 out by yourself .



Ahhh..there is my other ladder. It was just hidden behind.

Hey...as long as you look like you know what you're doing. :cool:


BTW, you don't HAVE time to keep your truck clean, you MAKE time.
7:30 to 8 AM daily in my case.
 
220 roughly how much is the body with the lift installed? I have an isuzu and 14' box and would like to add another. Do you move the bucket in order to work out of the back of the truck.


This would be a good excuse to sell that 60' JLG of mine. I'll still miss it on big jobs.

The back is accessible because the bucket rests off to one side. If they are stocking or cleaning the truck they will sometimes raise it completely out of the way.

I am GUESSING that the lift weighs 600 pounds?????with batteries???? I would have to check to be accurate.

They installed a stabalizer bar of some sort on the rear suspension.
